What is the major physical difference between old work monkeys and new world monkeys?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer & Explanation:
- One of the biggest differences between these two groups of monkeys is their tails. On one hand, some species of New World monkeys possess prehensile tails, meaning they can use their tails to grasp or hold on to objects. Their tails can aid these monkeys in finding and eating food in the canopy as well as moving amongst the trees, as their tails provide extra support and balance.

- On the other hand, Old World monkeys all have tails, but they lack the ability to grasp objects. However, some Old World monkeys have pads called ischial callosities surrounding their hind region. As these monkeys tend to spend more time on the ground than their arboreal New World counterparts, these calloused areas of skin provide support when they sit to feed or rest.

I hope this helped! :)

Answer:

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which the molecules of a solvent move from a region of low concentration to a region of higher concentration through a semi-permeable barrier.

While eating the chips, the salt content from the chips makes the surrounding solution of the cells to have an increase in salt concentration causing an hypertonic solution. An hypertonic solution is a solution that has more solute (salt) than the (solute in a) cell. This increase in salt concentration around the cells causes the cells to release water to neutralize the high salt concentration in the solution around the cell (in order to maintain homeostasis) which causes dehydration in the individual and hence making the individual to be thirsty. The body attempts to maintain balance by passing this excess salt out of the body in the form of urine hence the reason for the dark colour in the urine (because if the body doesn't rid itself of the high salt concentration, the cells could shrink and die as a result).

Evaluate the following scenario: Two days after visiting a pet shop and observing green parrots in a dis- play cage and fish in

vagabundo [1.1K]

In the scenario give above, the disease reservoir is the PARROT and the possible transmission method is INDIRECT CONTACT THROUGH AIR.
Disease reservoir refers to a source of a particular pathogen in an environment. A disease reservoir can be a person, an animal or an inanimate object like soil. In the case given above, the parrot is the disease reservoir and it passes the disease pathogen to the student. Pathogens are transmitted through four distinct ways, these are: direct contact, indirectly through the air, indirectly through contaminated object and through vectors. The disease pathogen was possibly passed to the student when the parrot was talking via tiny mucus droplets that escape from the bird's mouth.
